Message from California AI Compliance Officers to Healthcare Providers: AI Compliance Guidance 2025

To all healthcare providers, clinics, health plans, and AI technology stakeholders operating in California,

California is at the forefront of regulating artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure safe, transparent, equitable, and privacy-respecting use of AI technologies in healthcare. As your dedicated AI Compliance Officers, we aim to provide clear and comprehensive guidance on your responsibilities under California law.

Who Oversees AI Compliance?

  • The California Attorney General’s Office leads enforcement of AI-related laws including consumer protection, privacy, and anti-discrimination statutes affecting AI in healthcare.

  • The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) enforces privacy laws relevant to AI processing of sensitive health data.

  • The California Civil Rights Department (CRD) monitors AI use in employment decisions within healthcare organizations to prevent bias and discrimination.

  • The California Legislature and Governor set the statutory framework, updating legal standards continuously.

  • Specialized advisory bodies like the Board of Frontier Models provide guidance on high-risk, frontier AI systems but do not directly enforce regulations.

Key California AI Laws Affecting Healthcare

  • AB 3030 — AI in Healthcare Act (Effective Jan 1, 2025):
    Requires healthcare providers using generative AI to communicate clinical information with patient disclaimers about AI use. Human review by a licensed provider exempts this disclosure. Patients must be provided clear contact options for human providers.

  • SB 1120 — Physicians Make Decisions Act (Effective Jan 1, 2025):
    Mandates that only licensed physicians or qualified healthcare professionals can make final medical necessity decisions. AI may assist but cannot replace human judgment in utilization review and care management. Transparency and auditable records of AI decision-making are required.

  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):
    Provide robust privacy protections over patient data used in AI systems. Healthcare providers must protect sensitive health information, respect consumer rights to access and deletion, and ensure privacy compliance in AI processing.

  • AB 2885 — Algorithmic Accountability Act (Effective Jan 1, 2025):
    Standardizes the definition of AI and requires inventory and risk assessments of high-impact AI systems, including those used in healthcare, focusing on bias mitigation and fairness.

  • California Civil Rights Department AI Employment Regulations (Effective Oct 1, 2025):
    Prohibit discriminatory AI in employment decisions and require bias testing for automated decision-making systems in healthcare hiring and promotions.

Additionally, laws regulating AI-generated content, digital likeness, and voice replication protect patients' privacy and likeness rights.

Compliance Checklist Highlights for Healthcare AI

  • Provide clear, conspicuous AI disclosures in patient communications involving clinical information.

  • Ensure licensed healthcare professionals review AI-generated communications unless exempt.

  • Maintain transparent, auditable records of AI-assisted clinical, coverage, or utilization decisions.

  • Conduct regular bias and fairness assessments of AI tools to prevent discriminatory outcomes.

  • Protect health data privacy under CCPA/CPRA and ensure data security protocols.

  • Train healthcare staff on AI compliance policies and ethical AI use.

  • Prepare to cooperate with the Attorney General, CPPA, and CRD during audits or investigations.

  • Establish reporting mechanisms for AI incidents, safety concerns, or compliance breaches.

  • Vet third-party AI vendors for California law compliance and secure data processing contracts accordingly.

Enforcement & Penalties

Noncompliance can lead to significant penalties, including fines, disciplinary actions by medical boards, civil litigation, and potential restrictions or shutdowns of AI systems. The Attorney General’s office has broad authority to investigate and enforce, supported by privacy and civil rights agencies.

Conclusion

California’s AI regulations aim to protect patients, preserve physician autonomy, and foster responsible AI innovation that builds trust in healthcare services. We encourage all healthcare entities to take proactive steps to implement these compliance measures before key deadlines.

For further guidance, training materials, and regulatory updates, please contact your California AI Compliance Officers or visit official state agency websites.

Together, we can ensure the ethical and lawful use of AI to enhance healthcare outcomes in California.
